Pretty incredible how Pelinka was able to turn a top of the notch defensive team and one that was up 2-1 to the eventual finalists into this shit all in 1 offseason.

Well considering they are still paying Deng for that awful contract, it is only fitting they do the same with Westbrook, right as Deng's salary falls of the books next year. 

I don't blame Vogel one bit. He's been done dirty by the organization. Who can coach a team when 80% of the team is new season after season. Aside from Lebron and AD every year he has to start with a new team. And then, a season after they were up 2-1 against the team that made it to the finals before AD got hurt, they decide to trade/not resign all the scrappy younger guys from last year for over the hill dudes that haven't ever played defense or can't play defense anymore. 

Saw this on Facebook:
- Nearly deal Kyle Kuzma and Montrezl Harrell for Buddy Hield.
- Should accept Raptors trade demand; Dennis Schroder, Talen Horton-Tucker, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope and No.22 pick for Kyle Lowry via sign & trade.
- DeMar DeRozan taking paycut in free agency to join LeBron, AD and to reunite with Lowry.
- They could resign Alex Caruso into a decent contract.
Potential Starting Lineup if happens
PG: Kyle Lowry
SG: Buddy Hield
SF: DeMar DeRozan
PF: LeBron James
😄 Anthony Davis

Frank had them as one of the best defensive team last 2 seasons, he didn't just forget how to coach defense. Look at the team:
AD: best defender, elite
Lebron: old, doesn't play much defense anymore (compared to past 2 years)
Westbrook: never played a lick of defense
Monk: never really played much defense
Melo: never played defense and old
Bradley: good defender but old
Ariza: good defender but old
DJ: old
Dwight: old
THT: young, not a good defender 
Can't teach defense to guys that are old or those that haven't played any they whole careers. Only person on that list that can be taught is Monk and THT.

Unless they can trade Westbrook for some decent return, they are screwed for next year. They have 145 million guaranteed to Westbrook, Lebron, AD, THT, Nunn, Johnson and Reaves. That doesn't include Monk who is a FA and who they should resign. This season their total salary is 163 million so about 18 million to resign Monk and fill out the rest of the roster. Not a good place to be in. 

Man what a disastrous decision this is looking like so far by nixing the Hield trade and trading for Westbrook. Could have kept KCP and gotten Hield, both of whom are 3&D guys, shooting 40%+ from the 3. But instead got Westbrook who puts up great all around stats but cancels all of that out and more with horrible 3pt shooting, horrible ft shooting, tons of turnovers and awful defense to a tune of being -4.2 avg/game when he's on the court, 2nd worst on the team. 

You probably still think Albert Pujols is an elite 1B.
BTW the Angels let go of Simmons because he was no longer the elite SS that they traded for. I doubt they wanted to replace him with someone worse.

Doing just enough to miss the playoffs but also not get a good pick

Gotta win the 7/8 matchup to avoid Jazz and Clippers in the first 2 rounds.

Yes that was my point

All those players and picks they gave up for George. Clolippers

The 2020 RCP average is only past 4 polls, for 2016 I am assuming they are using the average off all polls since for Wisconsin it says Clinton +9.5 but the 2016 RCP average was +6.5

But we don't need to look at the polls to see that Trump is in trouble, just look at the 3 closest states in 2016. Trump in Michigan by 11k, Wisconsin by 23k and Pennsylvania by 44k. Biden is a much better candidate and Trump's approval is in the tank. 

I love Rick James

Since you just brush 200k lives lost just like that willy nilly, I’ll try to put that in context you may sympathize with better. What if Mexican illegals were killing 1000 people a day? What if rioters were killing 1000 cops a night? What if Al-Qaeda were committing 1 9/11 every 3 days? What if Kim Jong-un nuked us and killed 200k? What if 1000 troops were dying over seas daily? Would you just blow that off as it being only 0.06% of the population all willy nilly like that?

So what $750 per week max in unemployment benefits in California? $3000 a month? That doesn’t even cover most people’s rent/mortgage. Maybe it’s great for Idaho but not nearly enough for California’s cost of living

I would rather Trump stfu and let the doctors do the treating. 

You know what’s worse than picking a senile candidate? Picking a lunatic and allowing him to run for re-election.
